### 5/5 — Excellent music learning app

*2021-04-12*

Lots to like here: great storyline, interactive musical demos laid out like a piano keyboard, realistic drumming on logs, and much more!

### 5/5 — Perfect for even itty bitty kids!

*2021-04-04*

I downloaded this app for my almost 2-year-old and he absolutely loves it! The app is super responsive so he can play with all of the interactive buttons and explore. When he’s older, the musical content will have more relevance but right now he’s having such a fun time exploring! Thank you for making a fabulous app!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I hope your little one continues to love Music Tales as he grows older.
